TRICKIEST IN THE WORLD.
AUSTRALIAN OH TEEKTHAM. SYDNEY, March 20. Mr. Dakin, secretary of the New South Wales Rifle Association, interviewed on his return from Trentham, where a New South Wales team competed, said that the team had formed the opinion that j Trentham was the trickiest range in I the -world. The team were puzzled and beaten entirely by the conditions prevailing during the meeting. The changes of light and ■ their effects on elevation were such as he had never had the Slightest experience of here. " Under the prevailing conditions he considered that the score made by the New Zealanders would beat any team in the world. On any Australian range he would not have the slightest fear with the same team, which, under normal conditions here, would prove equal to any New Zealand team. The general appointments at Trentham he considered excellent, especially as regards the telephone equipment, which was so lip to date, and put Australian ranges to shame.
